He is alone, sitting on a cushion. African songs are heard in the distance, while the air hums with strange chirping noises, as he sets off. His duty is not to stand still.

Demnâ, with its percussive surges and their repercussions on the body, reveals the currents of the earth which carry incomers forward.
